Skopje, Lower Town, Church of St. Nicholas Place Apart from the road leading to the Round Tower of the Upper Town of Skopje (ѹс пѹте кои иде кь ѡбло(и) пирзѣ), there existed also an Imperial Road to the same tower, on which the Church of St. Nicholas was to be found (светаго николи, (и ѡдь царе)ва пѹти кои греде кь ѡблои пирзѣ долѹ до града до капицалꙗ). This Church of St. Nicholas was donated together with its garden by the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin to the Monastery of St. George-Gorg in the year 1300. The aforesaid garden lay on the river Serava and stretched towards the Church of St. Nicholas (и на серавѣ врьть (...) прѣма светимь николѥмь). Therefore, it may be assumed that the Church of St. Nicholas was located immediately to the north-west of the Church of the Mother of God of "the Three Hands" and also in the vicinity of the Church of Saint George of the Byzantine Apokaukos.
